  2. 21. Sulfidic mine waste microorganisms in an ecological context

    Author : Gustav Ebenå; Erika Kothe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis are the microorganisms found in sulfidic minewaste and their ecology. The microorganisms are investigated from the point of view of being an important, if not the most important, factor in the production of acid rock drainage (ARD). The thesis is a summary of several studies. READ MORE

  4. 22. Large grazing birds and crop damage : investigating spatial and temporal patterns to guide management practices

    Author : Teresa Montras Janer; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Populations of geese, swans and cranes (i.e., large grazing birds) are increasing in Europe and North America, raising conflicts between conservation and farming interests when, foraging in agricultural fields (often in the vicinity of wetlands), cause yield loss for farmers.

  5. 23. Graphene Heat Spreaders for Electronics Thermal Management Applications

    Author : Yong Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; test platform; heat spreader.; transfer; Graphene; thermal management;

    Abstract : Graphene shows great potential for applications in electronics due to its outstanding physical properties such as extremely high electron mobility, high thermal conductivity, high Young’s modulus and very high surface-to-volume ratio. Among these attractive properties, the high intrinsic thermal conductivity is a critical advantage for the application of graphene in electronics to alleviate heat dissipation problems. READ MORE

  6. 24. Who comes first? Implications of the plant-microbiome-soil continuum feedback on plant performance

    Author : David Castro; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Plants are sessile organisms that rely on their ability to explore the soil to access the nutrients and water they need to survive. Plants have co-evolved with certain groups of bacteria and fungi that provide nutrients and water and enhance tolerance to abiotic and biotic stressors in exchange for Carbon (C). READ MORE

  7. 25. Energy and Environmental Factors in Food and Beverage Production Systems : An Analysis of Tomatoes, Whisky, and Beer

    Author : Daniel Danevad; Karl Hillman; Ola Eriksson; Hanna Tuomisto; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental systems analysis; waste management; import; local resources; food production; beverage production; circularity; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : Given the anticipated global population of approximately 10 billion by 2050, the task of ensuring adequate sustenance for all within the constraints of Earth's limited resources presents a significant challenge. The production of food and beverages demands considerable energy investment, as well as other essential resources such as water and nutrients. READ MORE
